Six Cylinder Cabriolet Roadster Out-Performs Cars in Its Price Class Dodge Brothers, Inc., announces the second car in its six cylinder line a cabriolet ' roadster which is unique among fine motor cars. It is a com panion car to the sedan which has been the subject of so much favorable comment since it was introduced early this month, In the opinion 01 those who have had an oonortunitv lo study this new roadster it is a worthy mate to the strikingly Deautuui sev.an and everyone who has ruklen m il airrees that it surpasses both in ap pearance and performance other tars in its price class and many which sell for considerably higher prices. It is a new car in every wav Built with long and graceful lines suggestive ot great power and speed, this promise is amply fulfilled when the par is made to perform either in. heavy traffic or on the open read. "An entirely new feature ot tins par " savs T. S. Conlev of L S. Conley Motor company, local Dodge Brothers dealer," is the way in which the top is constructed. Prior to this time thp tons of all cabriolets have been detachable from the windshield pillars and have folded .back trom this poin. In this Dodge Brothers cabriolet this principle is discarded. The front of the top is built integral with the windshield pippars. Only the back quarter can' be lowered, the break being made at the pillars at the rear of the doors. This type of construction represents the most ad vanced ideas in design and has the imnnrtant advantage iof giving un usual rigidity and strength to the top. , , "The entire front of the car is distinctively new. tl is built like the popular six cylinder sedan with deen radiator, rather high and sur rounded by barely more than a rim rf 1ihed shell which is of nnifoVm widthm save at the top where it widens out to form a background .or the new seaL 6f Dodge Brothers "The rumble seat is more spacious than is to be found on most cars nA in its construction every effort t.e kon made to insure that it will be most comfortable, even on the longest trips. , , ,. t "The upholstery is of the finest leather, harmonizing with the other details of interior trim, the whole blending into a masterpiece ot design ing and engineering skill. "A rnmnartment for carrying golf rlnha i hnilt under the driver's scat and is unlocked by the same key which unlocks the door, the men lock and the rumble seat. "Equipment includes a clear vision one-piece wtndshiled, mngea ai mc frvo nA cwin critic outward for venti- lation. The windshield is' operated by a self-locking crank mechanism nA has the merit that it can be nneneH wide for safe driving in sleety weather. In further detail equipment memoes an automatic wmu shield cleaner, tire carrier with spare wheel or" rim, rear signal light, front and rear bumpers, Motor Meter and interior rear view mirror. A fine 8- day clock and a fuel gauge arc among the instruments attractively grouped under a single glass panel on the dash."
